Get-Er-Done

Jeremiah is what you might call a "Get-Er-Done" person. I can count on 2 things on days that he is off work. 1) SOMETHING will be accomplished and 2) Money will be spent. I, on the other hand, am a "Couldn't This Wait a Little Longer?" type person. I admit that there is a touch of me that says this out of laziness, but honestly most of the problem is that I get shortness of breath at every mention of spending money. I think we are good for each other, as long as we can remain appreciative and respectful of each other's way of looking at life. Jeremiah keeps us moving and I am always so thankful when the work is completed. I try to keep us in check of how much money we are spending on all of our little projects, and he tries to think economically.

So today, we got both cars cleaned, the oil changed, new tires for the Honda, transmission service for the Tahoe, and a breakfast treat for our elderly next door neighbor all because of Jeremiah. I didn't do it all willingly, but I am thankful he pushed us to take care of it all. At the end of the day, it's nice to know that things are tucked up tight for the night.
